ArianneUpdated on November 11, 2018November 11, 2018

From the runway to a FIRE cover! This month Jasmine Tookes Covers Harper’s Bazaar Kazakhstan November 2018 issue. The drop dead beautiful supermodel is coming off a high profile recording of one of the biggest fashion nights of the year; the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

To announce to the world and her fans her new work, Jasmine hit up the social realm. She posted several photos as well as BTS shots of her shoot with the caption, “New Harper’s Bazaar cover story! I had so much fun with this shoot.” Harper’s Bazaar also released the news stating, “Victoria’s Secret model Jasmine Tookes in Dior on the cover of the November edition of Harper’s Bazaar Kazakhstan!”

The editorial for Jasmine’s stunning cover story includes some amazing fashions. Furthermore, it is one of our favorite set of couture visuals that we have seen this year. To showcase some of her chic garb for the November issue, here is a cheat sheet to some of her looks.

Black and White Couture by Roberto Cavalli accessorized with a brilliant De Beers ring. De Beers states that it is, “The Enchanted Lotus Cocktail ring; [which] mirrors the shape and symmetry of the lotus at full bloom with eight sparkling micopave diamond petals.” The cost? Currently this ring retails for $6,000. In this pic Jasmine also sports $188 Stone Starlet Earrings by Lele Sadoughi.

In the above shot, Tookes mesmerizes in a Dior top, Calvin Klein tie and Alexander McQueen belt. Like those hoop earrings? Those are the Lele Sadoughi Marquis Front Hoops and Pearl Stone Starlet Earrings that retail for $118.

This look is “calling” us (sorry we couldn’t resist lol). Jasmine looks gorgeous in a Sonia Rykiel coat, Calzedonia Polka Dot Tights and Tibi red heels. She also wears Ben Amun Crystal Earrings and Versace eyewear.

We stan a chic, sophisticated dress! This one in particular is by Dolce and Gabbana.

The Versace Draped Leather Strapless Mini Dress from the Fall/Winter 2018 collection has been a favorite of ours all year. It currently is priced at $3,595. The accompanying Versace Barocco Belt can be purchased for $595.

Last one, and we know you are not “blind” to this fabulousness! Okay, we’ll stop with the puns. Jasmine is rocking Tom Ford, Cartier, more Calzedona legwear and a Roberto Cavalli LBD (little black dress). She also perfectly models the Ben Amun Art Deco Crystal Pendant.

Cardi B x Reebok – The Hot New Deal Bringing Shoes and Apparel!

Arianne Suggs November 7, 2018November 7, 2018

Who’s copping a pair? The lid has been on TIGHT in regards to this latest shoewear development between hip hop royal, Cardi B and the iconic street shoe brand, Reebok. However, just this week, sneaker heads and Cardi fans were treated to a little sneak peek; proving that the Cardi B x Reebok collab is in fact about to be on and in full effect!

Cardi B x Reebok – The Hot New Deal Bringing Shoes and Apparel!

In a very teasing manner the Reebok, Reebok Classic and Cardi B social platforms released a Boomerang gif of Cardi in a new shoe; with a caption advertising the “Cardi-bok.” For those, who wanted additional information, the pages served up a link to the Reebok website with the promise of finding out more.

SAVE YOURSELF A CLICK (Lol). It’s a total clickbait and you will not even find as much as paragraph with a description of the upcoming collaboration. NEVERTHELESS, what you will find if interested is a sign up page to be the first to find out more about the upcoming Cardi sneaker.

Signing up is simple and no different than most brands. All it requires is you name, email address and birth date. Fill it out and you will be “in the know.”

As one can see, details currently are quite scarce but word on the street is that 26-year-old Cardi will have a hand in helping to resurrect and promote the brand’s “Aztrak” design. Also, do you like that track suit Cardi is rocking? Well, you soon you could be adding to your closet because the Reebok partnership also promises new apparel.

This is certainly a good look for Cardi B as the race for rap dominance continues to be a hot topic. Cardi joins the ranks of Missy Elliott, Pharrell, and Beyoncé hubby Jay Z as artists who have inked a deal with Reebok. Moreover, so far Cardi’s collabs from Steve Madden to Marc Jacobs have been super successful. Therefore, there is no reason to expect that this one will be any different.

Ask and Tell: HM Long Wool-Blend Coat Seen on Jasmine Sanders

ArianneUpdated on December 3, 2018November 7, 2018

The Item: Top model and cover girl, Jasmine Sanders wearing the HM Long Wool-Blend Coat with wide waist belt. The beauty was spotted in her chic coat in several pics posted to social media platform, Instagram.

You Asked: Now this a lewk! I have been online on H&M’s website and googling like a madwoman trying to find this stupid coat! I don’t think it is anywhere even in the dark web. So irritated right now but I know if anyone can find this thing it is y’all. So I will be checking the site to see if you answer this one because this coat is bomb!

Ask and Tell: HM Long Wool-Blend Coat Seen on Jasmine Sanders

The Verdict: Thank you for your fashion inquiry, and we have to be honest… this coat WAS hard to locate! However, being the queens of online hunting we found it. In her stylish photos, model Jasmine Sanders aka Golden Barbie was flaunting the HM Long Wool-Blend Coat in Camel. We love the wide belt that fastens from the inside to cinch the waist.

In our search we also found this coat in an Olive Green shade. It’s just as chic, but for some reason we still lean towards the Camel shade. The cost? Well, that’s where things get a bit tricky. While this coat may pop up on the H&M website, there seems to be no price button. However, we did locate this look on Ebay for $89.

UPDATE!!! We got several additional inquiries about this coat and sadly have to say that the ones on Ebay sold out. HOWEVER… this look is up on the H&M site with a price now! It is retailing for $199. Here is a link if you wish to purchase: HM Long Wool Blend Coat.

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra- Over 2100 Swarovski Created Diamonds!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on November 5, 2018November 5, 2018

Ah, we love the smell of bling in the morning! This past a.m. Vickie S. hit us with the first look of their Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra! One million dollars worth of luxurious jewels and straight sex appeal.

This year’s coveted Bra is a collab between the iconic Swarovski label and intimate apparel giant,Victoria’s Secret. Swarovski who has teamed up with the likes of: Maison Margiela, Christopher Kane, Jean Paul Gaultier as well as Victor & Rolf on jewelry; has produced a creation for the VS 2018 Fashion Show incorporating over 2100 Swarovski diamonds!

Furthermore, this hand-made design also boasts and includes responsibly sourced topaz. Also, you may notice that the Swarovski bra and body chain are set in a sterling silver Dream Angels bra silhouette. Moreover, the stunning center piece has more than 71 carats (yeah, total Rose from Titanic status). In this design’s entirety, it took over a whopping 930 hours to create! Can you say major?

Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra- Over 2100 Swarovski Created Diamonds!

Now… we know one of the reasons you may have decided to check out our post on this is because you know we always are super honest (Lol). With that being said, this year’s Fantasy Bra let us feeling rather… meh. While we are so thrilled for model Elsa Hosk to be the one to rock it down the catwalk. It just seems like this design is a tad bit “lackluster.”

Yes, while 2100 diamonds is nothing in itself to yawn about. This year’s design just seems to be missing the allure of million dollar FB bras from the past. Maybe we have just been super spoiled in the past, but this bra just doesn’t seem to have the typical Victoria’s Secret flair.

Victoria’s Secret 2018 Fantasy Bra- Over 2100 Swarovski Created Diamonds (Continued)

However, if you love the style of this year’s Fantasy Bra do not stress because you don’t have a million dollars lying around. VS is offering their hardcore buyers a little cool treat come November 29th. Keep that day in mind (it’s a Thursday BTW) because the VS brand at select stores and online will have a “knock-off” version of the 2018 Fantasy Bra available for purchase.

Yup dolls… Instead of schilling out one million, you’ll be able to plop down $250 for the lookalike version. Pretty cool if you have ever wanted to have a Fantasy Bra of your very own, but be quick because they are already projecting a fast sellout. So then, may the best credit or debit card win!

Tune in to see Elsa and the other Angels strut down the runway during the sexiest night on TV. The 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show airs Sunday, December 2nd at 10/9c.
